Jump Start Tutoring Provides the Individualized Attention Every Student Needs.

Jump Start Tutoring was founded in 1998 to assist students, as well as their parents, cope with today’s challenging and ever-changing academic climate. In this respect, JST has become an essential aid to families helping to prepare, not only for subject or college exams, but for the entire process of selecting a college.

While we focus primarily on in person tutoring, if a student is sick or cannot get transportation to the office, or inclement weather, we provide remote access for FaceTime/Zoom tutoring.

Charlene Spillane
We have been incredibly pleased with our experience at JST. From our initial consultation through test day the staff at JST have been professional, knowledgeable and so encouraging. Our daughter enjoyed working with her tutors and was able to increase her score in all 4 subject areas of the ACT. The plan, the execution and the communication are flawless. Thank you Matt, Hannah and Scott!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Charlene, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I can speak on behalf of all of us and say that we loved working with you and your family. Your daughter worked incredibly hard and we are so proud of her success! I am happy that the process worked well for you guys and your daughter was able to improve all sections of her ACT. Please feel free to reach out if you or your daughter need anything else! Best, Matt Warshay and the JST Team

From start to finish, Matt and the Jumpstart crew helped us with the entire ACT prep process. We were never rushed and they treated us like family. My son saw such an amazing jump in scores that it even made a difference in his tests at school! I’d recommend their services to all high school juniors and seniors.
Response from the owner:Hi Adam, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so proud of your son's recent success on the ACT! He really has a tremendous ability to focus and has a work ethic that extends beyond his years. I am confident that he will continue to excel both academically and personally throughout the rest of high school and into his college years! Please feel free to contact me directly if you guys need anything. Best, Matt and the JST team
John Reynolds
We had an outstanding experience with Jump Start Tutoring. They provided a spot-on initial assessment of our son’s strengths and weaknesses, then worked with us to build a personalized plan. They guided us on the ideal timeline to begin tutoring and take the test, which helped reduce stress and maximize results.

Our tutors, Abhik and Lisa, were excellent and well matched to our son’s learning style and preferences. The JST team took the time to pair him with the right people, and it made a real difference in his engagement and progress. JST also set realistic expectations from the beginning and ultimately delivered exactly what they promised. We highly recommend Jump Start Tutoring!
Response from the owner:Hi John, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so proud of your son's top notch SAT score! Just phenomenal! We appreciate you entrusting in our plan and all the hard work your son put forth to reach his goal score. Best, Matt Warshay and the JST Team
Basil Kocur
We have sent four of our daughters through Jump Start over a 10 year span. They were excellent and professional. Oldest daughter got into NYU and is now in medical school. Second daughter got into Fordham’s Gabelli Global Business school, worked for JP Morgan and now applying to law school. The third one got into the ischool at Syracuse University and just got accepted to her Ernst and Young internship for cyber risk management this summer. And our last one got a 30 on her first attempt ACT (8 point jump from baseline). She plans to take it two more times. The secret is for your child to work hard with the tutor and complete all assigned work. If your child works hard, you can’t go wrong with Jump Start
Response from the owner:Hi Basil, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so proud of all of the Kocur girls! Thank you for entrusting in us and allowing us to be a small part of their success! Each one of the girls has worked very hard to get to where they are. They followed the program we set up from the start and were diligent to complete their assignments, ask questions and take the practice tests! We are super proud of the youngest Kocur's huge ACT jump and are excited to see if she can add an additional point on the board! Please don't hesitate to text me if you need anything! Best, Matt and the JST Team
Lou Giampa
My daughter had a great experience at Jump Start tutoring. The owner Matt was honest, informative and easy to work with. Her tutors were excellent! After months of sessions, she was able to score a perfect score on the ACTs. I highly recommend this company.
Response from the owner:Hi Lou, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Nice chatting with you today. We wish your daughter the best of luck with all of her upcoming college acceptances. Please keep us posted and don't hesitate to reach out if you guys need anything! Best, Matt and the JST team
Marion Gildard
We couldn't be happier with Matt Warshay and the team at Jump Start! Through practice tests and extremely informative parent/child meetings, Matt was able to guide us in choosing which test (ACT or SAT) was best suited for our children. The tutors were instrumental in helping our son, a high school Junior, significantly improve his ACT score. Our daughter, currently a college Sophomore, was also able to greatly improve her SAT score with the help of Jump Start tutors. Both children have also utilized their services for subject specific tutoring on an "as needed" basis throughout high school. Beyond the great results, Matt and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with - always patient, supportive, and incredibly flexible with our hectic schedules. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for dedicated, knowledgeable, and results-driven tutors!
Response from the owner:Hi Marion, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We greatly enjoyed working with both of your kids and really appreciate all of their hard work and dedication to both the test prep and their studies. We are glad the meeting and planning was helpful in deciding on a test choice (SAT vs ACT) and that the plan we put in place gave the kids the flexibility to navigate their busy sports schedules and extracurricular activities. We are all so happy for their success and know they will continue to crush it college! Best, Matt and the JST Team
Joanna Berenson
Our son attended tutoring here for the HSPT exam, we were hoping he would get some sort of merit scholarship to Fordham Prep. We started on the late side but Jump Start managed to squeeze in enough sessions to make a difference. Our son received a partial scholarship thanks to Jump Start and his hard work!
Response from the owner:Hi Joanna, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are all so proud of your son receiving the scholarship to Fordham Prep. We appreciate you entrusting in us and commend your son's hard work and dedication to succeeding on the HSPT exam. Best, Matt and the JST Team
Marina Jouka
I couldn't be more thrilled with Matt and his team. My son got a higher score than I expected on his ACT and I am so happy. Matt has been extremely responsive and flexible, and the tutors my son worked with have been exceptional. My son was in another tutoring program but he wasn't improving. At Jumpstart he did so well and it's thanks to the tutors and their personalized approach. Thank you Matt and Team!
Response from the owner:Hi Marina, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are all so proud of Andre's success on the ACT! He really worked hard and stuck to the program. Happy to help with anything else he needs throughout the rest of junior year and beyond! Best, Matt and the JST Team

Basil KocurBronxville High School
My husband and I highly recommend JumpStart Tutoring. Founder Matt is professional, efficient, and well informed. Based on practice SAT and ACT tests JumpStart supervised, Matt recommended that our high school junior take the ACT as that matched the strengths of our child. He guided us on areas of focus and recommended two stellar tutors (Abhik C. for English/Reading and Lisa N. for Math/Science) for weekly tutoring sessions leading up to the ACT. Both tutors are engaging and highly knowledgeable. Our child's composite score went up substantially with many competitive universities and merit scholarships now in range. We could not be more pleased!
Anne WithanEHastings High School
Jump Start Tutoring, thanks so much for all the help you’ve given my kids over the years. JST has provided tremendous help throughout their high school years, especially with the SATs. We couldn’t believe our son’s score and have JST to thank for that! And now with my daughter, I can’t thank you enough for all the help!
Eastchester Parent Tuckahoe High School
My daughter’s experience with Jump Start Tutoring was very beneficial. The tutors were excellent-accommodating, friendly and professional in every way. They taught her how to prepare for the SAT’s by working on strategies and building confidence. She increased her combined score by 220 points!! Thank you.
Tony & Marie BuonocoreHastings High School
Jump Start Tutoring, run by Matt Warshay, is a very professional service with a personal touch. The tutors at Jump Start personalize their approach to each student’s strength’s and weaknesses. They helped my daughter decide that the ACT was a better choice for her than the SAT. With their focus on her areas of weakness, they were able to steer her to achieve a very successful score. I was very pleased with the results and would recommend Jump Start.
